Imagine a life in which your challenges - depression, anxiety, fear, loneliness - are no longer holding you back. Feeling worried, guilty, lost, or unsure of how to connect with others can feel uncomfortable and intimidating. When we worry, struggle to find meaning, or feel a lack of motivation and clarity, it can affect our mood, relationships, and overall experience. When your challenges are not holding you back, you can have deeper relationships, greater satisfaction with work & personal pursuits, and less worry about issues like finances, happiness, family , etc.

Are you looking for a space to talk? I work college students and young adults who are having difficulty managing stress, experiencing anxiety or depression, wanting to work on concerns in relationships (past or present), family of origin work, grieving, developing their identity, feeling insecure and wanting to feel more confident, ready to put past traumas behind them, or simply wanting a warm, non-judgmental space to talk through thoughts and feelings. Whether this is your first time coming to therapy or you've had past experiences, I'm looking forward to supporting you.

I have a special interest in the family system and how that affects each individual. This includes psychotherapeutic treatment of couples, parents and their children.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important things when engaging in the counseling process which means my primary focus is to aid my clients in handling stress and daily challenges. It can be difficult but with my support it is absolutely attainable.

My entire career, I have worked mainly with teens, young adults and families.
